Looking For Beats? Find Me On PMP (Production Marketplace)Five years ago in the gritty streets of New Brunswick, New Jersey, you wouldve caught a skinny kid (who favors Kobe Bryant so much, its scary!) terrorizing the blacktops and preparing for his entrance into college hoops at NCCU (North Carolina Central University). Yeah, he ended up heading south to the university, but for E.Jones his hoop dreams, got tossed out the window right in between the VA and NC state line. Family started to worry because basketball was this kids life, well thats what they thought. What they did not know is that basketball was the backup plan, and supplying the world with great music was his main objective. Born on July 15, 1983, known to the world as the abbreviated E.Jones (No relation to Mike), Jones is now working his way to with the best of them. Never taking piano lessons, Jones spent most of his days as a child sitting in his room listening to CDs and Tapes, trying to play the melody by ear till he got it right. Entering high school, Jones started to develop his mc and writing skills by battling classmates and friends in the back of homeroom or in the cafeteria. Freshman year of college, Jones, hooks up with his brother (Keith Jones) and good friend (Derek Braxton) who gives him the inspiration to become a music producer. Once I got my hands on a MPC2000, I couldnt walk away from it, says Jones. It started out okay, after a couple weeks people were looking at him like man you try doing this more often maybe even for a living. Away from means of making tracks for 3 years due to struggling in school and away from equipment, Jones is now back on track working on making his way to the top of the production game. Inspired by guys like Outkast, Pete Rock, DJ Premier, The Neptunes, Swizz Beats, Kanye West, and Just Blaze, Jones style varies in many different ways. I try to hit every aspect of music because theres a certain genuine love I have for all genres. Creating production company (Soulpike Musiq) with close college friends, E.Jones Is soon to be put up in the ranks with the best, Its Just a matter of time.
